Sinopse

Knowledge Access Changes explores how society has been shaped by the evolution of information access, from ancient manuscripts to the digital age. It examines the educational and technological milestones that propelled this evolution. The book argues that access to knowledge is a driving force behind social, economic, and political change, not merely a byproduct of technological progress.

 
One intriguing fact is the shift from laborious manual transcriptions to the printing press, drastically increasing information dissemination. Another is the challenge of discerning credible sources from misinformation in today's digital abundance.

 
The book progresses through three major sections. It begins with oral traditions and written manuscripts, focusing on institutions like monasteries. It then examines the printing press and mass literacy, highlighting societal and cultural reshaping. Finally, it delves into the digital age, analyzing the internet and social media's transformative effects on knowledge access, addressing information inequality and digital literacy.

 
This interdisciplinary approach, drawing from history, technology, education, and sociology, avoids technological determinism, emphasizing the interplay between technology, society, and culture.

    An American soldier vividly recounts leading a platoon through the most chaotic and significant year of the Vietnam War.In 1968, 1st Lieutenant Robin Bartlett was reassigned to the 1st Cavalry Division (Airmobile). He suddenly found himself at the “repo-depo” in Bien Hoa. His unit had more helicopter support than any other in Vietnam. That meant immediate support was only minutes away. But It also meant that Bartlett’s platoon could deploy at a moment’s notice. And they did.It was the worst of times to be a platoon leader in Vietnam, let alone a grunt serving in a combat unit. Beyond the brutality of combat, Bartlett faced a crisis of commitment as the war rapidly lost support both at home and among the soldiers he led. Fifty years later, Bartlett shares these harrowing experiences in a fast-moving, first-person narrative that shines a light on the horror, fear, anguish, and sometimes illogical humor of that war.Finalist, 2023 Army Historical Foundation Distinguished Writing Awards

    The first full history of the Soviet Army’s High Commands during World War II and the Cold War—“Provides valuable and original research that reveals a great deal about the Soviet Union’s military command structure during World War II, with a few important insights into the almost fifty years that followed” (Journal of Military History).The war on the Eastern Front during 1941–45 was an immense struggle, running from the Barents Sea to the Caucasus Mountains. The vast distances involved forced the Soviet political-military leadership to resort to new organizational expedients in order to control operations along the extended front. These were the high commands of the directions, which were responsible for two or more fronts (army groups) and, along maritime axes, one or more fleets.In all, five high commands were created along the northwestern, western, southwestern, and North Caucasus strategic directions during 1941–42. However, the highly unfavorable strategic situation during the first year of the war, as well as interference in day-to-day operations by Stalin, severely limited the high commands' effectiveness. As a consequence, the high commands were abolished in mid-1942 and replaced by the more flexible system of supreme command representatives at the front. A High Command of Soviet Forces in the Far East was established in 1945 and oversaw the Red Army's highly effective campaign against Japanese forces in Manchuria.The Far Eastern High Command was briefly resurrected in 1947 as a response to the tense situation along the Korean peninsula and the ongoing civil war in China, but was abolished in 1953, soon after Stalin's death. Growing tensions with China brought about the recreation of the Far Eastern High Command in 1979, followed a few years later by the appearance of new high commands in Europe and South Asia. However, these new high commands did not long survive the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 and were abolished a year later.The book relies almost exclusively on Soviet and post-communist archival and other sources and is the first unclassified treatment of this subject in any country, East or West.
